HCi private hospital agreement update

Nov 19, 2024HCi news

 

HCi works hard to provide our hospital members with private hospital options offering the highest quality and best value for money.  As part of providing these options to you, we have a contract agreement with over 500 hospitals across Australia.

One such agreement is with the GastroMedicine & Endoscopy Group in Victoria, which provides services at the following Mornington Peninsula locations:

  • GastroMedicine & Endoscopy Mornington, 350 Main street, Mornington VIC 3931
  • GastroMedicine & Endoscopy Rosebud, 20 Boneo Road, Rosebud VIC 3939.

However, the GastroMedicine & Endoscopy Group are terminating our current private hospital agreement from midnight on 4 January 2025.

What you need to know about this agreement

Ending this agreement means you will probably have out-of-pocket expenses for any treatment you receive in their day hospitals.  Note that some transitional arrangements for any HCi members with any pre-booked procedures with the GastroMedicine & Endoscopy Group.

If you expect to require treatment at either of the above day hospitals, especially after 4 January 2025, you should discuss the matter with your surgeon/specialist, so that you can understand the additional costs of using these day hospitals, relative to alternative hospitals in your area.

As always, if you have any questions about this change or your HCi membership in general, please contact our friendly team on 1800 804 905 or via HCi Chat.
